RE: [IP] The pump;does it get in the way?

I have found the best place to keep the pump when I am worried about it
getting in the way (like when I was building my deck this summer) is in my
bra. I think you are rarely going to hit or bump yourself in that area.

Subject: [IP] The pump;does it get in the way?
I have been trying to talk Erika into getting a pump for awhile now. She
is totally against it. I did however manage to convince her to swith to
Humalog and counting carbs, so I haven't given up on the pump, yet.
She is concerned about having to be too careful while having a pump,
meaning, does it get caught on clothing, would it get in the way of her job
having to lift a lot?
Erika also has epilepsy, and when her blood sugar gets too low, she is
likely to have a seizure because of it.
How can I convince her that this is the best thing for her, and it won't get
in the way.
